infographic - X Axis Date Format

Hi community, 

 

I would like to ask if anyone came across with this same issue. I am unable to modify the date format of the X Axis. However I have modified it within the model to "MMM YYYY", it does not show any option in the properties that would allow for that to change. And so the automatic result is the following:

@Anonymous didn't use inforgraphic  but may be you want to add a column with required date format and use that for x-axis

 

Date for Axis = FORMAT( Table[Date], "MMM, dd" )

and sort "date for axis" column by table[date] column and use this new column for x-axis

Sweeeeet, Parry! 

Many thanks. Will have this at the back of my mind for next time! 

 @parry2k ** can you please help me on my other issue posted here? Nobody seems to understand it really.
